Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Anyone hang out on getacoder.com? There's a guy looking for someone to code him an operating system. Is he for real?
Hi,
So I'm posting for a rather large project. I need someone to program me a new OS (Operasting System) that looks different than Ms Windows XP etc. but has the same style. It does not need to run on a mac but all the other PCs. It's supposed to have a stylish look with clear edges etc. And ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE JUST A REDESIGNED WINDOWS as I'm going to sell that operating system later on. It's going to be called BlueOrb.
These are some important points :
It should have ALL THE FEATURES that Windows Xp Professional has. ALL the files that run on Windows XP ust also run on the BlueOrb OS. It must have a very user-friendly interface (like MS WINDOWS XP)
When it gets Installed, the user needs to insert a serial number. It HAS to be HACKER SAFE!
It must be quick and good looking.
Note that I only accept quality work and do not want any quickly done BS.
He's looking to pay $1000-$3000 for this.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I get faster answers to questions when I ask here.
I have a series 2 Tivo. I recieved a dvd- writer for xmas. The idea was to hook things up to my computer, but it is damn slow. the faster box - well it died.
DVD - writer is usb ( aren't they all ) can I use it connected directly to the Tivo box?
The short answer is, unfortunately, no.
I was afraid if that...research time to see if we can make this work...
You'll need a PC on which you can install Tivo To Go, and then you can get a hacking program that breaks the DRM on the files you bring over, or you can buy the compatible burning software (I think it's Sonic).
This is a perfect time for me to ask this question... I downloaded a program, which I'm using on a trial basis, that edits commercials and saves .tivo files as different formats. The .mpg files I created look fine on playback, but when I set up a DVD creation (using Nero, which came with my DVD drive), the picture is squeezed in on either side. It's set at 4:3, and if I try to convert to 16:9, it just squeezes it on the top and bottom too. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
Stupid question time: Why does my DVR have a SmartCard slot when any television show would take up more memory than a smart card has? What's it
for
?
Hey, I don't know what you people did, but many of the browser address line icons are showing up now! Good times.
